"Led Zeppelin 2". LP UK 1st PRESSING LP , ISSUED NOVEMBER 1969. RED / MAROON ATLANTIC LABEL: 588 198. AS A 1st PRESSING SIDE 1's LABEL CREDITS "Lemon Song ", ALL LATER ISSUES HAD THE COPYRIGHT TO THE SONG AMENDED TO "Killing Floor". Ist ISSUE LIGHT BROWN GATEFOLD ORIGINAL COVER , WITH THE 588 198 CATALOGUE No. ON THE SPINE AND INSIDE. GRADED Excellent. Vinyl IS GRADED Excellent+.

Again, this is truly a UK pressing. I used to live in London and have “imported” the LP myself. Americans—save yourself the postage and Customs fees (to say nothing of the exchange rate to British pounds) and buy here!

The vinyl gleams, with no marks. The audio quality is just stunning , with the original uk stereo mix, staggering ! Pure 60's,with the stereo panning used to create the most sensory assault on the listener, possible.

The gatefold is the original 1969, with the cat. Number 588 198 inside and on the spine. As with all the earliest covers , the very light brown colour of the outside is prone to fading and scuffing. Scuffing. All later covers had a far darker brown, printed with better quality ink. This have survived in outstanding condition. The outside is barely unscuffed with light wear on the corners. No ring wear; the inside is in superb condition.

WHY PART WITH THIS TREASURE?
A rash of unexpected expenses, alas. This LP is from my personal collection. I am not a retailer, but rather a fanatical connoisseur of all things vinyl!

MORE ABOUT WHO YOU’RE BUYING FROM:
A dyed-in-the-wool audiophile/vinylphile. I read Michael Fremer religiously. Hello to Phonogrammers! My front end is a VPI Scout, van den Hul Frog cart, VPI tonearm cable running into a brand new Sutherland PhD phono stage—a very revealing but nontheless musical setup. Meaning you can trust my judgements of an LP’s condition and MUSICALITY. On that note, as important as cosmetic condition is, how an LP actually actually PLAYS remains (for me) the single most important thing. How enjoyable and ENGAGING is it to listen to? We’ve all had the experience of buying an album which LOOKED perfect, but nonetheless played like crap. I do not sell those kinds of LPs.

I welcome your questions and invite you to check my other auctions, a selection of vintage LPs. Note my 100% positive feedbacks. Good luck bidding. John
